STWELVE PAGES '~ .* o THE STAR "The Safest Beaches In the World Are In Gulf County" 1Oc PER COPY THIRTY-FOURTH YEAR PORT St. JOE, FLORIDA 32456 THURSDAY, AUGUST 12, 1971 SCommission Has Wrist Slapped t iFor Drainage Canal Maintenance The Gulf County Commission had its wrist slapped by the State IIF Board Tuesday for failing to' secure a permit before doing maintenance work on a drain ditch. Bill Davis, a representative of the Trustees from the HEF Board told ;the Board they illegally dredged out the drain ditch and may face the prospect' of hauling off the spoil removed from the ditch and piled to the side. "The problem" said Davis, "is that you dug the ditch out below mean high water mark where it empties into St. Joseph Bay and that's against the rules and regu- lations governing the Bay in its designation as an aquatic pre- serve area." Board Chairman Silas Player said, "Mr. Davis contacted me about this problem a few days ago and. I didn't. know what he was talking about. We had dug no new ditches that I knew of. Then I found out he was talking about the one we were cleaning out just as we have done for sev- eral years." The ditch in question is the large drain ditch at Simmons 'Bayou at Presnell's Fish Camp. B. L.

INearly 100 per cent of the plant's 850 employees are now participating in the strike after it was. initiated by a ten-to-one vote on the part of the Paper- makers. As a result of St. Joe Paper's yalk-out,' the Glidden Durkee Division of SCM Corporation is also down. The Glidden plant was forced into a shut-down when St. Joe's shut-down closed down Glidden's source of steam, vital to their operations. Glid- den has about 60 workers idle. Twenty-four hour picketing operations have been set up at the plant. Law enforcement of- ficials said all picketing was or- derly and peaceful and that no trouble was expected. Union leaders said plans are to keep it that way,: conducting the strike 'in ani orderly law-abiding man- ner. Federal negotiator Leland Dean of Mobile, Ala, said no meeting date has been set for union and management officials to -get together and the end of the strike could be "quite a way off". Dean said the two sides were Gulf County set a new traffic death record last Wednesday morning, when a 15-year-old girl was killed on Highway 71 at the intersection of Overstreet Road, just South of Wewahitch- ka. Dead on arrival at Tyndall Air Force Base Hospital was Debbie Donaldson, 15, driver of the motorcycle involved in the cycle-car collision. Injured was Paula Terry, 15, who was taken io a Panama City hospital. Miss Terry's home is Jacksonville and fairly close to an agreement on wages but that management and union members still disagreed on pensions and contract language. "There was s o m e dispute about w o r k i ng conditions", Dean said, "but that issue ap- parently has been resolved." At issue in the strike are re- tirement benefits, several other fringe benefits and, in the case of the Papermakers and Electri- cal Workers, introduction of an arbitration nclause into their con- tract. The Machinists local al- ready,have the arbitration clause but are asking for the other benefits. With only a week left in which to buy 1971-72 automobile and truck tags, Gulf County Tax Col- lector Harland Pridgeon said yesterday that only half of Gulf County vehicle owners have pur- chased their license plates. Pridgeon said Gulf County sold 6,036 tags last year and have sold only 3,041 thus far this year with the deadline coming up next Thursday, August 20. her parents reportedly own a summer cottage in Land's Sub- division near the scene of the accident. Miss Donaldson was a resident of 208 College Ave., Panama City. According to Florida Highway Patrol Trooper Ken Murphy, in- vestigator, the bike apparently came off the Overstreet Road onto Highway 71 intending to cross over to the dirt road lead- ing into Land's Subdivision. The auto involved in the accident, a Volkswagen, was traveling South The Gulf County Board of Commissioners has cut its--rate of taxing to come 'within the mandatory 10 mill limit set by the State of Florida in its ten-' tative budget for fiscal 1971. The millage rate for the new budget has been set at 10.5, in- cluding a half mill levy for the St. Joseph Fire Control District, a levy not governed by the state limits. : In dollars, the County budget shows a $153,487 increase over last year for a total of $1,373,- 781.55. Almost the entire in- crease is reflected in the Road and Bridge Fund which this year will receive almost this much from the seventh and eighth cent of state gasoline taxes for road construction, and maintenance. Of the increases the Fine and Forfeiture Fund allows the lar-. gest At $31,900.00. This fund finances the Sheriff's DepartS: -ment, County Judge's office and operation of the Circuit Court. The Sheriff's office took the bite in this fund with a $33,000 increase. Some reductions were shown in other areas. The Road and Bridge Fund came in for a $121,000 increase but this was,due to the receipt of the state funds and the coun- ty assuming the responsibility for paving and .maintaining sec- ondary roads. The only other significant in- creases in the budget were re- flected in the Certificate of In- debtedness R e s erve Account Fund and the General Fund. The Reserve Account Fund has an increase of $5,100 and the General Fund has grown by $4,- 500 over last year. The General Fund requires al- most half of the entire budget and has been pegged at $581,071. Increases within the budget show that County Commissioners Ad- ministrative fund will get $4,500 more than last year. The Clerk's office will have $4,000 more. Civil Defense shows the largest percentage increase of any item in the budget, jumping from $5,550 last year to .$11,893 in the proposed 1972 plans.

Approximately 60 employees of the plant were idled two weeks ago when a railroad strike and threatened steel strikes for- ced the plant to shut dqwn.

The threaten-. ed steel strike curtailed orders for Basic's product which is used primarily in refractories used to line blast furnaces in the mills. time back because it was filling in so bad, it made getting boats in and out a problem at low tide. The county gave Presnell permission to do so and instruct- ed him to apply for a state per- mit. Presnell found that the state permit necessitated getting a marine biologist inspection and payment to the state of 50c for each cubic, yard of dirt removed from the ditch so he abandoned the project as too expensive. Later, the County moved in under its maintenance program and got caught in the act. Davis informed the Board that a marine biologist will still have to inspect the spoil pile and if it is considered damaging to ma- rine life, it will be necessary to haul the spoil out by truck. En- gineer Max Kilbourn entered his objections to this stating that the spoil pile had been there for years and ; helps to keep the drainage ditch from filling in. Davis told the Board that in order to prevent any further problems, the County should file with his department a ,complete map of the Bay listing any drain ditches they have emptying wa- ter into that body and apply for a three year maintenance permit. He said this was required on any dredging or digging below the mean high water mark. The County has about six or seven drainage ditches emptying into the Bay. | Kilbourn took a permit appli- cation from Davis and said he would prepare the necessary maps and papers to apply for - the three year. permit. Later in the meeting he remarked that from studying the application papers, he would need to provide over 500 maps with the permit. Pridgeon said that due to the large number still unsold, he expects a last-minute rush next week by tag buyers. In light of this expected event, Pridgeon said that tag purchases which involve a transfer of title should be made early. "This operation takes a while, and we won't be able to take care of it on the last day, with the rush for pur- chases we are expecting." on 71 and struck the bike at about the centerline, after taking evasive action. The bike wound up about 80 feet south from point of impact. Driver of the car, Charles Blount of Tallahassee, a pipe and supplies salesman, said he saw the bike approach the inter- section and blew his horn. The girls apparently neither saw the approaching car nor heard the horn and kept coming across the highway. Blount said he was tra- veling about 50 to 55 miles per hour. Horses Get VEE Vaccine OUCHI-Dr. E. T. Adams, Veterinarian of Panama City innoculated horses in this area Sat- urday afternoon for Venezuelan Equine Enceph- alomyelitis, a form of sleeping sickness. Sixty- three horses from the Port St. Joe area received the vaccine at the Lions Club Horse Arena in a state-wide program to protect Florida horses from the disease which spreads to humans also.

This is pretty thin stuff when you recall that. our allies in 'World War I were all but defeated when United States Marines stood off a mighty German bid to cut through American lines to get to Paris. American sol- diers, saliors and airmen also gave a great account of themselves. Gen. John. J. Pershing insisted that the Americans have their owt, separate sector of, the battle 'line. In World War II our allies in Europe and Africa con- sisted chiefly of Britain and Russia. In the Pacific, and Too Late To Classify By Russell Kay You may never have thought of Florida as a habitat of ghost towns but according ,to James R. Warnke of Boynton Beach this state harbors quite a number of them. Having stumbled on one or two Warnke began wondering if' there were others. He, began a research program that carried him from one end of the state to the other seeking old maps, in- terviewing old timers, explor- ing old sites that long ago were reclaimed by nature. I found his book "Ghost Towns of Florida" intensely interest- , ing. It tells' the fascinating story of Florida's early development, of homesteaders, pirates and In- dians, of trade and commerce and the dreams, hopes and strug- gles of those courageous souls who came to find a new life and build a future in a new land. The book is well written and illustrated with pictures of what remains today of the Florida towns of yesteryear.

No one would want to deny the great parts 'played by the British and Russians in winning the war in Eurbpe, but neither can it be denied that without America our allies would have lost.

America will be around long after the journalistic defeatists have withdrawn into the isolation they are winning for themselves.

Florida's ghost towns are found scattered from the pan- handle to the Keys. Each has a different story to tell. Mr. Warn- ke has done a masterful job in gathering authentic material for 'his book which is worthy of a place in my library, particularly those folks who are, interested in Florida history. As you and I travel Florida's superhighways and visit her developed areas, it is difficult to even imagine that here and there, perhaps only a short dis- tance off the beaten path, lie the remains of what in an earlier day was a thriving town or set- tlement. Little remains now but a bit of ancient masonry, frag- ments of, pottery, an ox cart yoke, a broken wheel, remains of weatherbeaten ramshackle and the like. Perhaps a few lone- some, overgrown grave stones in' an ancient cemetery. Let's consider the long forgot- ten town of Magnolia in Wakul- la County. Warnke describes it today as follows: "Palmetto thickets and thorny wild blackberry bushes now cover the ground. The sweetness of jasmine hovers in the air and only the lonely cry of a jay bird breaks the silence of the piney woods. One walks along the weedy trails in search of the re- mains of Magnolia but the town is gone. Oh, there are rements to be sure.

RAMSEY We have to come back again to Billy's Belly (Billy Rish, we mean). I saw Billy Tuesday at noon for the first time since the previous paper had come out. Bill saw me and cried, "You don't have very much to write about do you?" Bill Mosely cut his water off with, "I don't know,, it looks like he covered a pretty big subject to me". Bill began mumbling something about "the pot calling the kettle black" and whipped off his belt, headed in my direction. I immediately had psychotic flashbacks to when momma use to come at me with that leather strap that still hangs behind her kitchen door.; My psyche was harmed by the memory of cruelty sustained by that "charge of the leather strap". (Do you suppose I could sue Bill for mental cruelty?) But Bill was bent on proving a point (he thought). He bounced up to me vowing, "We'll see who's belly is the biggest!" With that he wrapped his belt around my mid- dle and imagine his consternation when he found it would fit! Why is it a rich man won't buy a pair of shoes or at least have his present shoes repaired?

He felt that if a couple felt they could no longer, live together, hardship in secur-! ing a divorce would not bring them back together. He explained that, in effect, neither party has to al- lege any specific grounds for di- "but the taxes realized from this bill would be so widespread so as not to work a hardship on any one person. Chapman voted against the cig- arette tax bill because it was a di- rect consumer tax. He felt that Florida already over-taxes this item since the state has the highest SAbout Mexico i 4I tU p use the want ads THE STAR cigarette tax of any state in the, nation. Florida taxes 17c a pack- age following Texas which levies 18c a pack. Chapman defended his vote on the increased automobile sales tax by stating that this item is the only item covered by sales tax which wasn't levied the full four per cent. The Represen tative voted against the additional penny gaso- line tax because he didn't like the way it was to be spent. "I wanted to see the entire amount sent to the counties and cities for road construction", he said, "but the bill gave $18 million to the Florida Highway Patrol". Chapman defended the $250 mil- lion tax increase by explaining that the bulk of the money raised was going to school districts, counties and cities to replace ad valorem States. "We need relief on the ad- valorem taxes all over the State", he said, "and taxing bodies must reduce their taxing in this area .to qualify for the state money.

Although the power line was 25 feet, 8 inches above the ground, which is considerably above the 18 foot minimum clear- ance required by the National Electrical Safety Code, and lo- cated 72 feet from the water line and boat ramp, the youths apparently were eager to erect the mast on their boat and in their haste, failed to notice the high voltage lines which were directly above their boat trailer. In order to prevent any fur- ther tragic accidents, DOT is placing the new warning signs throughout the state in areas similar to that in which the June accident occurred. Locations where overhead power line warning signs will be placed in this District are as follows: Wakulla County: SR 30 St. Marks River at Newport. SR 30 Wakulla River 4% miles west of Newport. Liberty County: SR 379B Apa- lachicola River at Bristol. Franklin County: SR 370 at Alligator Point. SR 67 Pine Log Creek. SR S-65 East Bay at East Point. SR 30A Carrabelle River in Carrabelle.

Cover and continue to blend until thick and golden. A report to our cUstomers regarding electric rates Four years ago, when I became Pres- ident of Florida Power Corporation, I said that our company's number one objective was to keep lowering the cost of electricity. And due to careful cost-cutting, we were able to lower rates five times since Jan- uary 1968. We did this in the face of mount- ing inflation and con- stantly rising costs of doing business. Today we are forced to admit that infla- tionary pressures have overwhelmed us. Despite our strict cost-cutting campaign, . in effect in every department within our company, we findit necessary to seek rate relief by asking the Florida Public Service Commission for a rate increase. HOW WILL THIS AFFECT YOU? The Florida Public Service Commissionwill carefully examine our request. Public hearings will be held and a decision is not expected until sometime in 1972. Natural-- ly, until that time, your rates and your bills will not be affected. However, to give you an idea of how your bill might change-if and when our request is granted-we'd like you to know that we are asking for an increase in our rate of return that will add approximately twenty million dollars to' our annual revenues. This would mean that a residential cus- tomer whose bill is presently running around thirty dollars a month would find it increased to around thirty-three dollars and sixty cents a month. WHY DO WE NEED THE MONEY?' If we are to continue to provide the kind of electric service you want, we must be prepared to pay more for labor, for fuel, for equipment, for environmental protec- tion, for new taxes and for the.money we borrow. The chart below shows yqu what has happened in recent years to labor, fuel and interest charges. FLORIDA POWER CORPORATION ANNUAL FUEL COSTS, ANNUAL LABOR COSTS AND ANNUAL INTEREST CHARGES' 35 CALENDAR YEARS 1966-1970 . I I 30 FUELCOSTS-"-m - LABOR COSTS - - INTEREST CHARGES ., 5 25 0o S- 0 A NATIONWIDE PROBLEM In the past two years, electric companies all over the country have asked for and received nearly one billion dollars in rate increases. In the first half of 1971 alone, 453 million dollars in increases were granted, while requests'for another 940 million dollars are pending. So you see, this problem of meeting the growing elec- trical energy needs of people is not unique to our service area, or even to Florida. Inflation has made beggars of us all. In fact, Florida Power Corporation is one of the last companies in the nation to seek rate relief. OUR COST-CUTTING CAMPAIGN CONTINUES One of the major reasons we were able to hold the line during the past two and one-half years, and in fact buck the trend, is because, of a far-reaching cost-cutting Inflation Hits Power Firm Power. n e A.P. a e s crathe a =et. e n.cen d s s a red' sedesda thss- 8 gs"tp ca Menss* oe oes, the as aeir fI. wayt a a orea e. i an ;n M THE saMS edn I Swe 4 f.- peo r e lof its auto set othn 1ff0erd u s en iMa no eir P2004tom-own cars and clam ein depieateoropeat s e t sRT frm IN,2 .3 to r nokes n said "s gala- 5 0M6es from am n res are being worked on" a ss customers will not be cur- -cemt -I C the maore tailed. t appears In the. ure that Efforts are' overcome by a tinuing 1q1tion and ra - lief appea 9 necessarya , wll nt hesitate to seek It 'HBE PRESsm cited ier employee wagesfst e S and financing charges WE CAN'T DELAY CONSTRUCTION In times of high interest rates and extreme inflationary pressures, other industries can pull in their horns and wait it out. But using the latest methods of projecting population gr6wth and the increased use of electric energy of-our present cus- tomers, we know that we must invest more than ten million dollars each month in the next five years. Delays in expanding our generating and transmission facilities will seriously endanger reliable electric Service. In 1960, our average residential customer used 4,488 Kilowatt hours annually. In 1970, this more than doubled to 9,415 Kilo- watt hours annually. If yours is an a average home, you'll probably be using11,600 Kilo- watt hours by 1974. We must be ready. A. P. "JOE" PEREZ, PRESIDENT FLORIDA POWER CORPORATION campaign within our company. As I-.men- tioned, this program is in effect in every department and at every level. In the face of your expanding need for electric service and our commitment to provide it, each Florida Power Corporation employee has taken it upon himself to pull more weight. We have frozen our employment total, and I personally review every request for expansion. We have become more flexible in our standards regarding the salvage and recycling of equipment and materials. We must "make-do" as long as service stan- dards are kept high. Our advertising and sales promotion bud- gets have been reduced. The objective of our advertising is to be helpful, informa- tive and promote electric use only where it would serve to better balance our capa- city to deliver. (For example, our resources would be more efficiently employed if people used more electricity during the late evening and nighttime hours, as well as throughout the entire winter.) Each department has cut its expense budget and we've drastically cut our auto fleet, replac- ing it with individual mileage allowances. We see no"end to inflationary influences, so now, more than ever, we are dedicating ourselves to squeeze every bit of capacity and service out of every dollar. We know we must all work harder and smarter. OUR PLEDGE TO YOU We recognize that our primary responsi- bility is to provide you with adequate electric energy at the lowest possible cost, and with due regard for our environment. (Environmental protection techniques and construction procedures will add approx- imately 20 million dollars to the cost of our next generating plant.) I know that talk of increased electric rates is distasteful, yet as every housewife knows, th price of everything seems to leap aheadalmost daily. I write this report to let all our customers know that the folks at Florida Power are concerned with meeting their obligations and that our decision to ask for rate relief did not come easily. I want to keep you fully informed. If you have any questions, I hope you'll write tf, me. A. P.

CORE, Clerk, Circuit Clurt (SEAL) Ervin, Pennlngton, Tarn and Jacobs Post Office Box 1170 4t-7-29 Tallahassee, Florida C I I I I I I-- I The use of prescriptions in dentistry is a fairly recent de- velopment. Dueto the discovery and.application of certain types of drugs, the practice is rapidly expanding. Tranquil- izers, because of their apprehension-curbing nature, have Proved helpful with patients undergoing major dental work. By relaxing the patient in this way, the dentist can go about his work more efficiently. Analgesics and antibiotics are also proven aids in dental therapy. They speed healing and prevent or fight infection. These\new applications of pre- scription drugs demonstrate the diverse role pharmaceuti- cals play in our lives. Now, when your dentistprescrlbes, you receive the same benefits of modem medical research as when your physician prescribes. And when you have regular physical examinations don't neglect to have your .teeth checked. Make an appointment with your dentist when you make one with your doctor. As matter of fact, why not phone for an appointment today? For the highest pharmaceutical standards, low prices consistentwith quality and the personal attention you can always depend upon, bring your prescriptions to OUR PHARMACY Buzzett's Drug Store 317 Williams Avenue brive-ln Window Service- Phone 227-3371 'Plenty of Free Parking After a month delay in study- iAg bids' and plans, the County Commission reluctantly accept- ed a bid from Kolmetz Construe- - pont iman-of'Panama City to construct a new Mosquito Con- trol headquarters building here in Port St. Joe.' The reluctance, especially on the part of Commissioners Rudy Pippin and. Leo Kennedy, was due to the bid which came in.at $79,470. Pippin wanted to nego- tiate with Kolmetz for ways to cut the price and Kennedy want- .ed .to put the building up,. with County labbr. Kennedy said he had been told the building could be built for around $40,- 000 or ,about$3.00 a square ,foot. Kolmetz ibid was approximately $8.00 a square. foot. Kolmetz bid was the lowest of four received; all of which were within '$5,000 of each other. Clerk of the Court George Y., Core remarked that the County had the money in a construction fund and Mosquito Control Su- pervisor C. E. Daniell remarked that the state program would pay 21 per cent of the cost. Courthouse Contract The new Gulf County Court- house has finally been paid off. County Attorney William J. Fall football practice will be, 'legin at Port St. Joe High School bright and early Monday morn- ing, according to head football coach Wayne Taylor. Taylor said all senior high boys in grades 10 through 12 :who are planning to go out for the team this year should report at 7:00 a.m., at the High School Coliseum. Rish told the Board that he had negotiated with the contractors, Guin and Hunt of Pensacola and their attorneys and they had agreed to settle for $7,000. The Board agreed to accept the of- fer. The Board has owed Guin and Hunt $8,000 plus interest since the building was built. The money was held back. due to deficiencies in the construc- tion in the Board's opinion., The contractors say they have fixed all items 'under objection, except for discolorations in the' terrazo tile in the buididg's.!-n- trance. Nothing could be. done' for this short of taking up the tile and replacing it. . Rish estimated the County owed the contractors approxi-. mately, $10,000. with. interests at the time of settlement,- .- Want More Money - Dr. Susan Conley and Mrs. Ted Cannon, representing the Gulf, County Guidance Clinic asked the County Board Tuesday .to' consider raising their annual contribution from $1200 to $2500. Dr. Conley explained that the Clinic needs to find a new home, since thier operation has outgrown their offices in the Health Department building. Dr. Conley said the Committee Taylor reminds all boys plan- ning to play football on both senior and junior high levels that physical examinations are necessary before beginning to participate in the program. Boys who have not received their physical exams yet, may se- cure them at the Gulf County Health Department Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 9:00 'a.m. Judge Warren L. Fitzpatrick will sound the docket for the fall term of court at 2:30 p.m. Monday afternoon in the Gulf County Courthouse. Fifteen cases are on the dock- et, including two second degree murder cases'. Tapper Named to College Board George G. Tapper of Port St. Joe was re-appointed by Gover-. nor Reubin Askew this week to .his post on the Board of Trus- tees of Gulf Coast Community College. Tapper was removed from his office after serving one year of a four year term this past Spring by GovernQr Askew along 'with several other appointments made by former Governor Claude Kirk. Tapper will serve out the re- maining three years of his four year term under the new ap- pointment. He is serving his third year as chairman of the *GCCC Board of Trustees. Tapper has served on the Board ever since Gulf County became a par- ticipating county with the col- lege several years ago. is making tentative plans to en- large the operations, providing for an enlarged staff, increase services and begin serving the Wewahitchka area. At' present, Dr. Conley said, the services of a speech-thera- pisti~and psychiatrist are being provided for Port St. Joe on a one ;day a week basis. The Com- mittee wishes to hire a person full time "for the Port St. Jbe clinic. . SDr. Conley explained that the clinic .'is now -solvent, "but not ri enough to provide more ser- vices. '."W .make a charge for our services based on ability to pay", she said, "and receive pri- vate donations"; Chairman Silas Player told -the committee the County's bud- .get ~was practicallyy set already thi year. "We have had to cut hinny requests due to a require- ment that we roll back to 10 mills. Player- said that if some funds are not used during the year for their specified purpose the County may be able to pro- vide more money later in the year. The entire Board had praise for the work being done by the clinic and expressed their desire to help in any way possible. / Erosion Problem County Engineer Max Kil- bourn told the County Board that an erosion problem is pres- ent on the Chipola River Cut-off which is endangering homes on the stream bank. Kilbourn said the land owners have offered to give a new road right of way adjacent to the road now serving the : threatened homes. He then asked the Coun- ty to abandon the present dirt road, giving the property to the threatened 'home owners and con- struct another road, which will replace 'property washed away by the stream. Dixie Youth Team Loses Chance In Last Two Days Port St. Joe's entry in the state championship play-offs in Nice- ville last week lost their last two games to be eliminated from the championship game played on Saturday night. The Port St. Joe nine went un- defeated through Wed nesday then lost Thursday and Friday to two teams they had defeated ear- lier in the week. One of these teams, Myrtle Grove, went on to win the state championship. Port St. Joe took a 5-3 win on Monday from Ferry Pass of Pen. sacola. On Tuesday, Port St. Joe defeated Myrtle Grove (the even- tual winner) by 3-2. Wednesday, East Lakeland fell to Port St. Joe 8-1. Then Port St. Joe's troubles began. On Thursday, Myrtle Grove came back to defeat the locals 7 to 4. Port St. Joe still had to suffer one more loss to be eliminated from the tourna- ment and this loss came on Fri- day at the hands of East Lake- land, 4 to 3. Team manager Theo Johnson said Port St. Joe could have won both the games with just one "break". Port St. Joe, East Lakeland and Myrtle Grove made it to the final two games with one loss each. Myrtle Grove drew a bye, which put Port St. Joe and East Lakeland in the position of hav- ing to win twice to take the championship. Sounding of the Docket was held the first of this week and the following cases were set for the term of court beginning Monday: Ray Likely,; charged with sec- ond degree murder, plead guilty Monday and was sentenced to 20 years in prison'. Charles Carpenter entered a guilty plea to a charge of mali- cious damage to electric utility lines and was sentenced to a year in the county jail. Edward R. Youngblood will be . tried August 16 on a charge of withholding support. Charles Tiller will be arrigned on August .21 on a charge of withholding support. A third charge of withholding support has been filed against Henry H. Porter and will be tried August 16. C. H. Russell, who was charged with issuing a worthless check had his case returned to the County Judge' Court. James Ira Clemons, charged with 'grand larceny, had his case continued to August 16. Freddy Tuck and Coy Tucker, both charged with grand, larceny and malicious damage to electric lines will be tried on August 16. The Board agreed to this pro- position, which affects about 800 feet along the Cut-off.
